As per http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Releases...s_been_dropped
the module has been replaced with the include directive.

As per /usr/share/doc/pam-0.99.7.1/README.update.urpmi the
/etc/pam.d files that use pam_stock.so need to be manually edited
to replace the usage of pam_stock.so with includes.

The error is being generated as /etc/pam.d/webmin has not been
changed, and currently has ...
#%PAM-1.0
auth required pam_stack.so service=system-auth
account required pam_stack.so service=system-auth
password required pam_stack.so service=system-auth
session required pam_stack.so service=system-auth

Also, when running webmin, on the system tab, the PAM Authentication
module still supports the use of pam_stack.so.

Checking other files in /etc/pamd.d, I also find pam_stack.so being usedin
pm-hibernate, pm-powersave, and pm-suspend, which are all from the
pm-utils package.

Bugzilla searches are currently failing with an internal error.
When that's fixed, I'll check to see if these errors have been
reported.

It's a little unreasonable to expect the end user to edit webmin to fix
the bug since the webmin package was ALSO from Mandriva 2007.1. (And my
urpmi also points to the updates, so if they had updated webmin, that's
the version which would have installed.)

Sorry, I didn't intend to imply end users should be editing the pam configuration
files. I agree that should have been done by Mandriva. I included the reference,
just to show what information I'd found about the problem.

I was able to login to bugzilla, finally, checked, and didn't find a current
bug report. I entered the bug information, but when I tried to commit the
entry, if failed. Their website qa.mandriva.com appears to be down right now.

I'll try again. later.

Bug finally reported as http://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=31112 for webmin and
http://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=31113 for pm-utils.
